I can't believe this video is how I found out Davis Bon, a totally beloved and real celebrity, died. You'd think the news would've picked it up but not a single article! It's so disrespectful to the legacy of such an important car dealership owner.
It’s terribly sad that such a beloved celebrity could just die like that, and his legion of fans aren’t even afforded the ability to say goodbye…. #ripdavisbon
It's always nice when the doctor gives you a death date, makes it much easier to work out the logistics of transferring your massive fortune to a stranger
Well, schedules must be adhered to. Its like where they say people eat on average eight spiders every night in their sleep. If you're dying and you are below quota, all the spiders turn up at once.
Maybe it's not "Mc", it's "MC" and he's actually a Master of Ceremonies. You've secretly been chatting to the scamming world's best DJ, dropping beats to rival those of Eric Castiglia
A note on the morality of scambaiting: By providing silly responses to scammers, you are polluting future training data for scam-based AI chatbots, which will hopefully make them less effective scammers. This is a moral good.
@@randomviewer3494 Often datasets contain positive and negative examples: do be like this convo where you ended up with money, don't be like that convo where you didn't. By putting weirder stuff into the 2nd category or putting stuff that has similarities to the first category, training becomes harder.
That is not how that works. Scambaiting always ends in a failed scam, they would never use those conversations as training data. Training an neural net is based on feeding it examples of your desired outcome. So successful scams.
I think the training data still gets messed up in this scenario, because he’s responding to the prompts as if he is susceptible to the scam, just not immediately privy to the information the scammers want. Therefore, if a true susceptible person is not privy to the data the scammers want, responds as such, then the trained AI is severely more likely with its data to register this interaction as a failed scam attempt before the true person is too far along in the scam. An adept scam bot programmer may need their AI to be more advanced to tell the differences between a “it will not be successful” result, an “it will be successful” result, and the important but hard to account for third result “it may be successful, but the interaction needs to continue for longer”.
"Perhaps you could ask and then get back to me with alternative dates?" The absurdity of asking for (a fictional) someone to reschedule their death had me in stitches. Well played
He couldn't resist putting "okay" in there. He almost made it through the scam pitch without doing it. Okay, you got me with "You're not planning to bury him at my house, are you?" I just started laughing there. The ad is brilliant, too.
Davis Bon sounds like a good name for an alternate e-mail or character for scambaiting, lol. He could join the ranks of John Barosa and co. I know he's dead right now, but I believe noone involved had an end-of-life insurance, so I'm optimistic that he'll recover.
I keep on chuckling every time you say "Mc-McAllister". It is also extremely funny that poor Davis Bon had "any accident." He may just have stubbed his toe.
He really missed out! I got the same e-mail, sent the money and I’m waiting at the door to realize my wonderful new life among the rich and famous. Hang on, there’s a Fed X truck coming down the street right now!! 🚚🍾🍾🍷🍷✈️
As a bit of a history nerd the "end of life assurance" bit got me. If vampire burials were still a thing they'd definitely involve the use of power tools.
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the thumbnails Mr. Shrimp uses; each different topic or series has its own distinct style so I know exactly what's what from just a glance and its a level of detail you don't often see. It's very much appreciated!
Actually Twitter was only worth less than half of what Elon paid. That's why he tried so hard to get out of the deal. There needs to be more videos detailing how much of a scam artist / conman Elon is.
Thank you for all that you do Mr. Shrimp. I was one of those people that thought I could never be scammed, until I lost $100 to a "girl" I was "dating". Looking back their tricks were obvious but I was lonely and I wasn't thinking clearly. Every time you waste some of these human garbages' time you potentially save someone ignorant (like I was) from being their next victim
I tend to agree with your diagnosis that the aim of raising awareness is the most effective way to fight scammers. Because I watched this video, the YT algorithm recommended a documentary called "The dramatic undercover sting exposing Nigerian fraud syndicates". It's scary to realise that even well-educated professional people can somehow get sucked into these scams and then will continue sending money to criminals in a faraway country in the hope of recouping their sunk costs.
I see a lot of the "love doctor" ones these days in Facebook comments. Claiming they can cast a spell to repair your relationship or get your kids back, etc. Facebook is likely a genius breeding ground formscammers considering what the demographic is
Go look into cryptocurrency scams. There are still people sending money to ponzi schemes hoping to get rich, even though the creators rug pulled long ago and stole all the money.
@@Una_Ridlow Facebook's algorithm is also purpose engineered to expose people to scams or frauds they're likely to fall for. I'm not even exaggerating, a study for example discovered that Facebook would show Bipolar people more ads for useless products when they were about to enter their manic episode, manic episodes are characterized by being careless with money and other things. Facebook had somehow figured out how to predict when someone was about to enter a manic episode better than actual medical science and was specifically using that to fleece people out of their money.
Hrmm, a thought. Have you tried reversing things? "Oh, you're using DHL (or any company named)? I work for them. Give me _your_ address and I'll have a truck come by to pick things up." I mean, we know they will neither give an address nor accept this-because there is nothing to pick up-but I'd love to hear what excuse they have for why this wouldn't work given it's the exact same company.
He's mentioned this before - he doesn't want to do it because it forces the scammer into a corner. If there is no bait, the scammer stops responding because they have nothing to say.
He's tried something like this before, claiming to have either local contacts or associates in the shipping industry. It tends to result in the scammers claiming that they're required to go through a specific channel for delivery, which is ironic as when the ball is in their court scammers will constantly change the shipping method they're allegedly using for the fictional package.
That's the annoying thing about the "one sentence" scammers. For the most part they won't even try to pretend they're in the situation their initial format described and will basically just say variants of "give me your money" and just accuse you of not being serious if you don't do what they want. This one at least indulged the Davis Bon narrative.
My greatest fear for the future of AI is that chatGPT will put an end to the traditional artisanally-crafted scam email. Thank you for preserving these for posterity.
I shouldn't worry, the scammers haven't yet caught on to using spell and grammar checkers so I'd expect it to be a good while before they learn about using AI
@@HoratioChinn Actually, the bad spelling and grammar is a way to weed out people who are likely to recognize a scam. It's a time saver for the scammers.
Word just fixes spelling not grammar. Plus ChatGPT & OpenAI can only present paragraphs on sentence at a time. It can't answer yes or no, and keep responding at a high rate too.
@@MultiCreditKIng Not sure who mentioned Word (I'd guess Wordpad would be more appropriate for these scammers) but it does have basic grammar checking as well as spelling, so do many other grammar checking applications.
Hi I am a REAL dying rich widow and I just want to say thank you so much for exposing these horrible people who give me a bad name online! All I want to do is hand over my massive fortune to a complete stranger on the Internet! And they ruin it by pretending to be me so people do not trust me!
Then make sure to get a POA to lock up all their financials so they can’t give out important details to the scammers- credit cards, bank details, everything. I’ve dealt with Alzheimer’s family, and they can get extremely stubborn and are very easily scammed.
Actually, I thought he was a little bit late and didn't comply with the original schedule of one week. I'm not one for tardy timekeeping and frankly I don't think I'll miss him.
Don't you have any of his albums? For instance both the Bon Voyage and Bon Appétit LP's are critically acclaimed, although Bon-bons in Paris was panned for it's overt sensuality. Most of his works are right up there with Slim Whitman and Zamfir-Master of the Pan Flute.
Your ability to twist a scammer's words and your creativity with your own is outstanding. Over the last couple of years I have been entertained into a position of great awareness by scambaiters of all types. I absolutely love your style and how it fits into scambaiting in general.
Honestly at this point in the series this United State really owes you perhaps a couple trillion or so I would imagine. How many more people will include you in their wills or have a multitude of gold bars waiting to be collected from airports. You are a very lucky man indeed
On the topic of the FAQ, while I agree scammers aren't going anywhere, ever, I still think scambaiting is worth it. If even one person is prevented from being scammed, that's a win. Something you've touched on before is that scambaiters have possibly made scammers less willing to put up with nonsense, and so it's possible genuine victims might get dropped because the scammers think they're scambaiters. So that's got to count for something.
@@KeksimusMaximus But as has been discussed numerous times on this channel, stupid people aren't the only victims of scams. In fact, I'd argue the people at the highest risk are the people who foolishly believe themselves to be immune.
@@MuchWhittering As soon as they want money I gotta dissapoint them, I ain't got none The last one could work but only if the companies I have known my whole life (I life in an area that has a bunch of companies that have need for people with my education) suddenly turned to scamming people. Or if I wanted to work in a completely diffrent field.
@@MuchWhittering Ok I looked up employment scams again and I am pretty sure they won't work in my country. Our Job market looks a little bit diffrent. We rarely use sites and 100% of the time have in person meetings before we get hired. And you will never see me click a link on an E-Mail to reset my password or similar stuff. I always go to the website and reset it there manualy. Why? Because a family member of mine gets these E-Mails by the hundreds.
I've gotta say, Mr. Shrimp (may I call you Atomic?) Your utter adherence to hammering the point home of "not sharing ones information to strangers on the internet" is absolutely to be admired. It's important, and I'm glad there are people out there such as yourself.
At a certain point, it feels like one enters a play, and I am totally down for it :3 The cast of characters is always on point, and the absurdity is just *chefs kiss* excellent!
Is this the first time there has been a Slaughterham ad as a midroll in a video? That was a nice suprised and I want to make sure I haven't missed any messages from the Slaughterham council. They are mandatory viewing after all.
My grandmother was almost scammed, I’ve shown her your videos mr shrimp. You’re a lifesaver. She had purchased 5 thousand “usd $5,000 usd” in target gift cards
Also, the scambaiting type you choose to handle will affect what equipment you use - email scams are relatively simpler than Indian phone call scams (the latter requiring you to have a virtual computer and some other software)
And sadly, not all scams are baitable. The sextortion scams are a good example, since the emails are oneshot, probably spoof a fake or innocent email address, and the complete "payload" of the scam is all in that one email. They don't plan on having a conversation, just for people to drop money in their bitcoin wallet.
i wish i found your channel earlier, got caught out once few years ago, fortunately it was only £25 for a courier delivery for a tv and console from a freesharing site, paid with wouchers, after that they wanted another £30 for an insurance payment and that was when it all fell into place. easy done when you're greedy ;)
Probably been said a hundred times already, but that intro had me rolling on the floor laughing... These videos have been such a source of joy for me, and I'm incredibly appreciative of all the effort that goes into them.
He would've needed a very large and strong box for 30 billion dollars, I'd imagine. When you think about it, $300.00 doesn't sound like a terribly high price for it, and delivery too...
sure wish there was something more than can be done about these scams however until then I will continue to share your videos doing my small part to spread awareness ❤❤❤
I've totally got hooked on the Slaughter Valley (the "commercial") videos. Some of them are really creepy. Atomic Shrimp needs to make it a novel or short story or something!
I love that the 'small boy' question is now a full-blown scambaiting tactic with an official name like 'The Small Boy Gambit.' Never fails to make me laugh when it comes up.
Man, your voice is so soothing that I wish you did audiobooks. Sad to hear about Davis Bon. Don't be too hard on your friend there, he was probably grieving and will send the box when he's less overwhelmed. Trust.
"He will pass on this day" - "can that be reschedules?" Gold. pure gold! Also sitting here, hoping that Davis can leave Pains soon. That's a town in northern France right?
You have made me more alert to my email scams. Generally I send them all to trash, but there are a couple that generally look like they are from Google or Facebook. The alert is sent that someone has been attempting to break into my accounts. But a serious look at the address made me realize a few times, this was a scam. I highly doubt face book is based in Russia, lol. I chalk it up to you're educational information.

Questions are unnecessary.
This is such an excellent Saturday morning treat
people can't be this good and lovely and nice for as long as you seemingly have been. there must be some sort of scandal on the horizon.
I am absolutely cackling every time you bring out the "small boy"s. 😆
Saturday morning with coffee and the latest Atomic Shrimp video is bliss.
Also, the scambaiting type you choose to handle will affect what equipment you use - email scams are relatively simpler than Indian phone call scams (the latter requiring you to have a virtual computer and some other software)
They stuck by trying to open the connection software on my linux.
Then some phishing website scams can be baited almost fully automatically, but on the flipside warranty phone scams are almost impossible to bait.
And sadly, not all scams are baitable. The sextortion scams are a good example, since the emails are oneshot, probably spoof a fake or innocent email address, and the complete "payload" of the scam is all in that one email. They don't plan on having a conversation, just for people to drop money in their bitcoin wallet.
What? They don’t really want to clean my windows???
i wish i found your channel earlier, got caught out once few years ago, fortunately it was only £25 for a courier delivery for a tv and console from a freesharing site, paid with wouchers, after that they wanted another £30 for an insurance payment and that was when it all fell into place. easy done when you're greedy ;)
#ripDavisBon your smile filled the room, and your infectious laughter shall sorely be missed. Godspeed Davis Bon
That opening letter from the scammer is just begging to be turned into a song! Would make a great addition to the John Warosa greatest hits album
Inflation is high over there too? Wow . It's terrible here
Scammer: "How are you doing today my friend"
(if it were) me: "Who's your friend?"
I'm not your friend, guy!
Your patience amazes me. I would get so tired of their baloney, I would just stop replying.
Probably been said a hundred times already, but that intro had me rolling on the floor laughing... These videos have been such a source of joy for me, and I'm incredibly appreciative of all the effort that goes into them.
Two of my favourite series combined, hooray!
Slaughter Valley got its start in the scambaiting series, as a matter of fact.
Lost opportunity to go down the rabbit hole of how big a box they would need to use to fit in 30 billion dollars of cash.
Your editing skills and little gags never fail to get a laugh out of me, namely the 'any accident' bit at the beginning.
I'm excited to see how you add the character of Davis Bon to your cast that includes the soul called John Barosa.
The small boy gambit is my absolute favourite, I use it regularly in random interactions and it brings me great joy.
He would've needed a very large and strong box for 30 billion dollars, I'd imagine. When you think about it, $300.00 doesn't sound like a terribly high price for it, and delivery too...
sure wish there was something more than can be done about these scams however until then I will continue to share your videos doing my small part to spread awareness ❤❤❤
Nice placement of the Slaughterham segment. 👍
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% Bon
"My phone number exceeded the digits then fell off the end"....I may be using that in the future 🤣🤣🤣
Cracked up laughing at that one 😂
“No, I do not know that, therefore, it is not true” is such a great sentence 😆
This is seriously one of Atomic Shrimp's funniest videos I've ever seen
I've totally got hooked on the Slaughter Valley (the "commercial") videos. Some of them are really creepy. Atomic Shrimp needs to make it a novel or short story or something!
I did not expect a slaughter valley ad in here, that was a nice surprise!
It was nice. Fun fact, Slaughter Valley debuted in the scambait series, as a response to when a scammer said, "Goodbye to us."
I love that the 'small boy' question is now a full-blown scambaiting tactic with an official name like 'The Small Boy Gambit.' Never fails to make me laugh when it comes up.
This is one of the most entertaining videos you've made, ATM-ic Shrimp! I love the [mandatory] Slaughter Valley ad, too.
I love how you came up with a solution that would actually work if there was money and the guy just has to bullshit his way around it.
Mc Mcallister sounds like a stuttering Scotsman
Scam baiting is always so funny and entertaining to watch.
RIP Davis Bon, a true innovator in the world of auto sales
I wheezed with laughter when you asked if the death date could be rescheduled. 😂
I swear, the "small boy" joke never gets old!
Rest in peace, Davis Bon 😢
Waking up on my birthday and I find an Atomic Shrimp scambait
Congratulations!
Man, your voice is so soothing that I wish you did audiobooks.
Sad to hear about Davis Bon. Don't be too hard on your friend there, he was probably grieving and will send the box when he's less overwhelmed. Trust.
Davis Bon was raised by electric eels in the Amazon basin .
I want "Today is a bad day. He is dead" on a t-shirt 🤣
"He will pass on this day" - "can that be reschedules?"
Gold. pure gold!
Also sitting here, hoping that Davis can leave Pains soon. That's a town in northern France right?
God the featureless “Blank” kills me 😂
Didn't expect this at 2am here, but glad it showed up lol. Needed a good laugh. Love these dang videos
You have made me more alert to my email scams. Generally I send them all to trash, but there are a couple that generally look like they are from Google or Facebook. The alert is sent that someone has been attempting to break into my accounts. But a serious look at the address made me realize a few times, this was a scam. I highly doubt face book is based in Russia, lol. I chalk it up to you're educational information.
Omg you’ve incorporated a Slaughterham info film! I can’t express how happy this makes me. I love learning more about this quaint little place
Imagine having a car, plane, boat and train accident all together at work. Davis Bon sure lived a stressful life
Davis Bon is OK after he saw this video
He'll only be OK if he sends the moneh RIGHT NOW so I can deliver the special HD 212 gig bank harddisks so courier can make delivery OK. Time is not on his side now OK
@@jakehyams8659 This is true immediately OK. He must sends the money RIGHT NOW so you can deliver the special HD 212 gig bank Harddisk's so courier's company can deliver the special HD 212 gig bank harddisk's immediately OK.
I can’t imagine how Davis Bon felt when he received his death date.
He must’ve been so shocked he just wanted to send his money to random people...
